I brought Sword Song yesterday and finished it today, yet again Mr Cornwell another intriguing tale for Uhtred. Please keep Serpent Breath and Wasp Sting coming as I'm sure that he will need them again. Thank you for your absorbing books. Allan Turner

As a lover of historical fiction, I have become a big fan of your work. I am amazed at your ability to continually produce one great book after another. Thank you!!!

I am delighted to see, on your web site, that you have not left Uhtred stranded in Wessex, still with his "Good Friend" Alfred. Looking forward to Sword Song arriving in New Zealand.

I am so pleased that Sword Song has arrived! I'm from Durham so I'm doubly pleased when you write a book which includes my local geography. I have even booked a caravan at Bamburgh for the weekend to get into the spirit! Thank you sir thank you! Ian Langley

I finished reading Sword Song a few minutes ago. I howled in anguish as I finished the last lines. A compulsive reader I read the historical notes and promptly phoned my daughter (who will be the next reader of my copy) to tell her I had finished and then read her the last line" and so Uhtred and his story will continue" Oh! Yes please and as soon as you like. Wonderful story telling. Thank you Bernard Cornwell. Janis Pegrum

Dear Mr Cornwell Thank you for your latest answer to my question. It gives me the right perception on the role the church plays in your books. I always thought that the Churchmen (in your books) were overly ambitious and greedy which leads them to be cruel but could not really figure out why the church as a whole did not stop the cruelty. But I know now that they were like an expanding empire. And you don't build an empire without breaking some eggs I guess. When you have do news concerning Dutch translations I would like to hear it. I think it is great how you use our site to take the time and talk with our readers. Ps Just bought Sword Song in English. Just love Uthred.

According to todays Daily Express, "Sword Song" is the first book to knock the final Harry Potter off the number one slot. Congrats! But could you please stop writing books quicker than I can read them? James Spivey

Bernard Cornwell. Sir, I found your book, the last kingdom, in an old used book shop here in Canada, and thought I would give it a try. Sir, this was a fantastic story and I truly loved it. I look forward to reading more of Uhtred tale and finding out what became of Ragnar the younger. Again thank you, you have brought a great deal of enjoyment within the past week. Jay Brake

As a medieval historian it is not my usual habit to read historical novels as I find they are invariable inaccurate or improbable. However I make an exception with your work and have read and thoroughly enjoyed most of your books. The Saxon Stories in particular are outstanding, brilliantly researched and thrilling. I enjoy the refreshing portrayal of the christian monks as men rather than saints. Aethelflaed is a pet subject of mine so I am thankful to you for putting her in the public eye, a thing long overdue. I was dubious initially about the necessary artistic licence in dealing with her but feel you have achieved a triumphant explanation for her actions. I read Sword Song in two days and was then left bereft, at a loose end, please hurry up and write the next one! Judith Arnopp

thank you for the grail series,starbuck,alfred and warlord books I thought sharpe was good I think you must be one of the most talented modern day authors, once again thank you. Rory Dent
